The 2 Disneyland Paris parks, explained in detail

The two parks are right next to each other. You can walk from one to the other in 5 minutes across the central plaza (Fantasia Garden). You need a 2-park ticket to get into both on the same day. With a 1-park ticket, you stay in the park where your ticket was first scanned. No shuttle is needed between the two, and that’s one of the great strengths of Disneyland Paris.

Disneyland Paris offers several types of ticket, and I know it’s easy to get lost when you’re planning your first visit. Here’s what’s available in 2026. Bon Plan tickets are the cheapest, in limited numbers. Dated 1-park or 2-park tickets are valid for a set date. Undated 1-park or 2-park tickets let you choose the date later. They aren’t valid on 14 July, 31 October and 31 December. On top of these come multi-day tickets (2 to 4 days) and Special Offer tickets, such as the Tribu ticket. Group tickets are for 20 people or more. Friends Tickets are for annual pass holders only. There’s no longer a separate "evening" ticket for Halloween or New Year’s Eve. The evening of 31 October and the evening of 31 December are included in the dated ticket for that day. The evenings reserved for annual pass holders still take place. Finally, there are the annual passes themselves. Each ticket has its own conditions and its own price.

The cost of a trip varies a lot depending on the hotel you choose. For a 2-day, 1-night stay for 2 adults and 2 children with park tickets included, expect around €600 at the cheapest official Disney hotel and up to €1,100 at the most upmarket one. On top of that, you need to add meals: the amount depends on the type of restaurant, but I suggest allowing at least €300 for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner over the 2 days. In total, budget between €900 and €1,400 for this kind of trip. For a day visit only, the 1-day 1-park ticket starts at €49 per adult with a Bon Plan ticket: allow a budget of at least around €400 for a one-day visit for 2 adults and 2 children, meals included.

Disneyland Park clearly has more attractions than Disney Adventure World. I count 37 attractions in Disneyland Park against 13 attractions in Disney Adventure World. That makes sense: the original park opened in 1992 and has grown over more than thirty years, while Disney Adventure World is still in the middle of its transformation. If you’re visiting for a single day and want to fit in as many attractions as possible, I recommend starting with Disneyland Park.

No, entry to Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World is free for children under 3. You don’t have to buy or show any ticket at the entrance, you just go through the turnstiles with your child. A practical tip: always keep proof of age (passport or ID card) in your bag. Disneyland Paris sometimes checks when in doubt, as there has been a lot of abuse, so it’s better to be prepared. Remember to bring a pushchair too, as the distances are longer than you’d think.
